In just one month, factories and dormitories were built. Although they were only brick structures and looked a bit crude, they were inspiring enough.
At the moment when the factory was completed, countless educated youth present shed tears of excitement.
"This is our factory."
"We finally have our own factory!"
That night, Qin Hao held a grand bonfire party to celebrate. Hundreds of educated youths sang and danced, with their eyes full of longing for the future.
Of course, Qin Hao has not been idle during this month. If the factory is to be established, production equipment is the first priority. With that screw press alone, so many people have to go to the northwest.
However, the machinery and equipment of the 1960s were not easy to handle. At this time, mainland China's industrialization had just started and there was no complete industrial system. Most of the equipment was either left over from the past or bought from Maozi. Many factories
Even the equipment and techniques from the Qing Dynasty are still used.
It's impractical to buy ready-made equipment, and Qin Hao doesn't have that much money, let alone foreign exchange, so he can only save it by himself.
Qin Hao first obtained a batch of scrapped motors through his relationship with the head of the waste collection station, Niu.
"Comrade Xiao Qin, bah, look at my mouth. Director Qin, I advise you not to have too much hope. These motors have been repaired many times and were not repaired well, so they were sent for scrap.
You want to check for leaks, but I find it difficult."
This is true. Electric motors are used in a wide range of applications these days. They are used to provide power for various mechanical equipment. Factories treat them as treasures. If they are not repairable, no one will send them for scrap.
Qin Hao smiled casually: "Let's give it a try. You know, Stationmaster Niu, that I can't afford a new motor. I'm just treating a dead horse like a living horse."
Stationmaster Niu didn't care. It was just a pile of scrap metal anyway. If he could sell it to Qin Hao for a favor, it wouldn't be a loss.
"Okay then, take them all if you want them. If they really can't be repaired, you can send them back to me. Our friendship is just a matter of words."
Qin Hao waved his hands repeatedly: "Hey, how can I let you bear this risk, brother? According to the price we negotiated before, we will pay and deliver the goods. I have already issued the batch receipt in this factory."
Qin Hao is actually quite confident about repairing this batch of motors. The reason why these motors cannot be repaired is most likely because the copper wires inside are aging and burned out during high-load work. As long as the burned copper wires are removed
Return it and put it back together again, and there is a high probability that it can be repaired, but it is more tedious and as difficult as reassembling an electric motor.
The masters who repaired the motor before were either not very skilled or too lazy to work hard, so they smashed the casing, which made people think that the thing was completely broken.
Qin Hao didn't want to leave any loose ends. If he learned that he had repaired it, the awesome webmaster would be jealous and ask for it back because he didn't pay. But he couldn't explain it clearly. It would be safer to spend some money.
Once the financial accounts are recorded, you won’t be afraid of the webmaster Niu having any evil intentions.
Although there is a suspicion of judging a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart, Qin Hao can only be a villain before being a gentleman. After all, the factory is related to the future of millions of educated youths, and there can be no mistakes.
"Stationmaster Niu, if that batch of scrap steel pipes arrives, you have to keep it for me." Qin Hao whispered.
"Don't worry, who among us is following whom? I'll tell you the news as soon as possible." Stationmaster Niu patted his chest and said with a smile.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and then Qin Hao left with the batch of motors.
Looking at the retreating figures of Qin Hao and his entourage, the young man next to Stationmaster Niu asked curiously: "Uncle, why are you so polite to this person named Qin?"
Stationmaster Niu glared at the young man: "How many times have I told you to call Stationmaster Niu!"
"Oh, Stationmaster Niu." The young man muttered reluctantly.
Stationmaster Niu hated the fact that iron could not become steel and said: "Look at you, and then look at others. It's true that people are more likely to die than others, and goods are worth throwing away when comparing goods."
"Don't even think about the nature of this educated youth factory. It's the only one in the country. At a small scale, it's a small collective enterprise, but at a big scale, it's poaching from society. If there is no origin, Qin Hao is like this
Can a young man become a factory director?" "It's just a pair of scrap metal, and it doesn't cost me any money. It's a good deal to exchange it for a favor. You, learn from it!"
The young man couldn't help but show admiration when he heard this.
"Uncle, you are tall, you are really tall!"
.......
On the other side, Qin Hao returned to the factory with the motor and began to repair it. It was exactly as Qin Hao expected. The main problem of these motors was the aging of the copper wires. After replacing a batch of copper wires and re-winding the coils,
All seven motors can operate normally. If they are replaced with a new casing and painted, they will be almost as good as new.
Three of them were not repaired even after replacing the coils. After testing through elimination methods, it was found that the starter relay was broken. This thing is more difficult to deal with. This thing is not produced in China and cannot be purchased at all, so it can only be put aside first.
Wait and see when you are lucky enough to find a good one, and then replace it.
But having seven electric motors is not bad, at least the power sources for seven devices are solved.
As for the equipment in the factory, Qin Hao still saved it from various waste materials, mainly the screw press. In addition to the press for squeezing soybean oil, it also expanded the production line for squeezing peanut oil and sesame oil.
After the factory was built, Qin Hao did not start work immediately. Instead, he organized pre-job training for the educated youth. On the one hand, he taught the educated youth some job skills, and on the other hand, he formulated strict operating procedures to ensure the quality of the products.
Although these days, people have little demand for the quality of products, and all supplies will be sold out, but Qin Hao knows very well that once you get used to a lazy life, it will be difficult to give up. From the beginning, Qin Hao planned to be strict
Manage the educated youth factory according to the factory management regulations of later generations.
At the beginning, there were also educated youths who questioned it. Qin Hao's answer was simple. This was all for the reputation of the educated youth factory. If you don't want to work, you can leave at any time.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In an instant, no one dared to speak. It was so hard to get such a quota. Seeing that the factory was about to go into production, they would become workers soon. Who wanted to be a returnee?
Going to farm?
From then on, Qin Hao's authority in the educated youth factory was established, and no one dared to question his decision.
The equipment is available and pre-job training is almost completed. The next step is production, but the first problem Qin Hao has to face is that he has no money.
The more than 10,000 yuan I earned before seemed like a lot, but for building a factory, it was not worth mentioning. That is to say, Qin Hao had to save the equipment and other things, otherwise this little money would not be enough.
Teeth gap.
However, even if we save more, the steel bars, cement needed to build the factory, and the scrap materials purchased from the waste recycling station will still cost money.
How can we start work if we don’t have money to buy raw materials? The finance section chief was so worried that he was worried.
Qin Hao thought for a while: "In this case, you can tell the grain station that our educated youth factory has just been established and many accounts have not been sorted out yet. Let them supply us first and then settle the accounts for them a month later."
"Is this possible?" the finance section chief asked hesitantly.
Qin Hao patted his shoulder comfortingly and said with a smile: "Actually, this is normal. Nowadays, companies rarely settle cash directly. The one-month account period is not long. You have to have a relationship with the person in charge of the grain station.
, if it really doesn’t work, you can give him some cigarettes and alcohol, but you definitely can’t give him money, because the nature of giving money will change, you know.”
"Well, I understand how to do it." The finance section chief also worked hard. He finally got into the factory and became an official. He couldn't watch the factory go down and quickly went to the person in charge of the grain station to build relationships.
Naturally, the person in charge of the grain station was not happy at first, but after a few glasses of wine, the relationship between the two parties became much closer. In addition, two cigarettes and a bottle of Maotai were presented to him, and he and the finance section chief soon became brothers.
Three days later, ten tons of soybeans and ten tons of peanuts brought from the grain station entered the warehouse of the Educated Youth Factory.
Qin Hao saw that the educated youths were almost fully trained, so he arranged a trial production on the first day. Large piles of soybeans were poured into the pool to soak, dried, and then passed through a screw press to squeeze out the oil.
The production process of peanut oil is relatively complicated. First, it needs to be crushed, then peeled, stir-fried, and then passed through a press to squeeze out the oil.
Driven by electricity, the oil yield of soybeans has been significantly improved, reaching about 11%. However, no matter how much it is improved, it will only be in the range of 12% or 13% at most. If you want to continue to increase the oil yield, you can only
It can pass the leaching method, but the current conditions do not allow it.
The oil has been squeezed out, but there is still a problem that needs to be solved urgently, and that is packaging.
In the 1960s, plastics were not yet popular. Not only was the cost high, but there were no supporting factories in the county that could produce the oil. The shipping fee alone was enough to increase the cost of grease by 10 to 20 percent when shipped from other places, which was not cost-effective.
There is no other way, Qin Hao can only use glass bottles that seem to be more expensive, but actually cost two cents less than plastic bottles.
It’s just that the production tasks at the glass factory were tight, and there was no production capacity allocated to the factory for educated youth. Qin Hao took the initiative to visit the director of the glass factory several times and drank several drinks. The guy refused to let go, which made Qin Hao almost angry.
Scolding mother.
In the end, Director Ma of the Educated Youth Affairs Office came up with a way to ask Qin Hao to sell this batch of oil directly to the army logistics. Since they used a large amount, they did not need to fill it. They could just seal it with plastic paper in a wooden barrel and send it over.
Don't tell me, this is really a solution. Qin Hao couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
Director Ma chuckled: "But the relationship in this unit is not easy to get through, so you have to rely on yourself."
For others, this is indeed a problem, but for Qin Hao, it is not a problem at all. He immediately called Qin Yiming.
Qin Yiming was very proud of his son. If nothing else, the educated youth factory was the only one in the country. Naturally, he was in Qin Hao's environment and couldn't do it.
Upon hearing Qin Haoyu's request, he agreed to help him find connections without saying a word.
Soon, Qin Yiming found an old subordinate who was currently stationed in northern Shaanxi. Under his introduction, Qin Hao finally settled the matter with samples and a few bottles of good wine.
"Well, the quality of this batch of oil is good and the price is cheap. From now on, we will deliver a batch of this quantity every month."
After three rounds of wine and five delicious dishes, the other party blushed and patted Qin Hao on the shoulder.
This is an unexpected surprise for Qin Hao, which is equivalent to an extra sales volume for nothing.
The situation of the educated youth factory is quite special. Although relevant guidance has been issued by the superiors, it has not been officially included in the planned economic system after all. The superiors probably did not expect that Qin Hao could build the factory in such a short period of time. There has been no
Arrange production plans for educated youth factories.
Qin Hao can only find a market for the oil he produces. According to Qin Hao's prediction, the educated youth factory will be ignored for at least half a year. This is also a good opportunity to make money. After all, the materials are not in the plan.
But it's a hot commodity.
Of course, Qin Hao still needs to solve the problem of carriers, otherwise it will be difficult to digest the current production capacity.
"Director Ma, are you familiar with Director Lu of this glass factory?" Qin Hao thought for a while and then found Director Ma. This guy is a local snake and the cadre closest to the educated youth. Who else should he look for if not him?
Director Ma ate peanuts, took a sip of wine, and said, "Lao Lu? This guy has a donkey temper and is not easy to talk to."
"Who says it's not true? I've called him three times, but he just didn't give me an answer." Qin Hao slapped his thigh and said depressedly.
Director Ma took another sip of wine unhurriedly, and suddenly whispered: "Lao Lu, he is good at everything, but he has a problem, he is lustful, Widow Wang from Baigou Village..."
Okay, I didn’t expect you, a thick-browed person, to do this?
Qin Hao immediately toasted Director Ma: "Director Ma, come on, I'll give you a toast. If this happens, I'll thank you very much."
"Thank me? Thank me for what? I didn't say anything. Director Qin hasn't drunk much yet, so why are you talking drunkenly?" Director Ma chuckled and refused to accept the conversation at all.
These old foxes!
Afterwards, Qin Hao returned to his old career and started carpentry.
Ning Yu was very curious: "Brother Hao, why did you do this again? Which company's leader got married and asked you to have thirty-six legs?"
Qin Hao smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry about it, you will know in a while."
Naturally, there were no thirty-six legs, only four legs. Qin Hao made a double bed and asked Ning Yu to send a few young and strong educated youths to Baigou Village while it was dark.
Factory Manager Lu was flirting with Widow Wang when they heard someone knocking on the door, which frightened the two of them.
Widow Wang asked nervously: "Who is it?"
Ning Yu smiled evilly and replied: "Oh, we are here to deliver things."
Widow Wang looked at Factory Director Lu suspiciously: "What did you buy?"
Factory Director Lu frowned, how could he buy something and send it here? That would not be courting death.
Seeing that there was no movement inside, Ning Yu smiled evilly again: "The things we sent are not small. If you leave them outside, they will make a lot of noise and be very eye-catching. Why don't you carry them into the house first?"
When Director Lu heard this, the hairs on his back stood up. He hurriedly hid in the closet and asked Widow Wang to open the door. However, Widow Wang's eyes darkened when she saw the double bed that Ning Yu had brought in.
"You, who are you?"
Ning Yu glanced around the room and saw two pairs of bowls and chopsticks on the kang. He understood and smiled.
"We are from the educated youth factory. This is a little thought from us. Say hello to Director Lu on our behalf."
After saying that, he led the people back out.
After confirming that Ning Yu and the others were really gone, Director Lu came out of the closet with a livid face.
Widow Wang turned pale with fright: "What should we do? Have they discovered something?"
Director Lu was so angry that he slapped the table and cursed: "Of course they found out, these guys are here just for me!"
